In this episode, we sit down once again with Michael Northro, known to many as the Shaman, for a deeper conversation on ancestors—who they are, how they are understood across shamanic traditions, and what it means to honor them in a modern world.

We explore how ancestors are viewed not simply as figures of the past, but as living influences—guides, protectors, and carriers of memory that shape identity, culture, and spiritual practice. From blood lineage to spiritual lineage, we discuss the different ways ancestors are recognized within shamanism and how those relationships can be approached with respect, intention, and humility.

This conversation also touches on practical and philosophical questions:

What does it mean to honor ancestors today?

How do you engage ancestral work without appropriation or fantasy?

And how do remembrance, ritual, and responsibility intersect in shamanic worldviews?

A grounded discussion at the crossroads of spirituality, ancestry, and the strange—inviting reflection rather than dogma.

In this Thursday Journal, Isaiah Danberry reflects on his journey from being a devoted, Bible-reading fundamentalist to standing in the threshold as one of the growing number of “spiritual Nones.”

This episode explores:

• Deconstructing religion without losing spirituality

• The rise of the religiously unaffiliated

• Mysticism, Stoicism, and philosophical faith

• The role of science, critical thinking, and consciousness

• Why questioning may be the purification of belief

• How different religious traditions may be shaped attempts to interpret the same “light”

Are we witnessing the decline of religion… or its maturation?

From praying with Christians and Orthodox Jews, to breaking bread with Muslims and meditating with Buddhists, Isaiah reflects on what he saw in their eyes — a shared upward striving, a refusal to collapse into nihilism.

“We’re all just strangers in a strange land… looking for the promised land.”

This is not an episode about abandoning faith.

It’s about integration.

About becoming the bridge between certainty and mystery.

About holding reverence and reason at the same table.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually curious but institutionally unaffiliated…

This one is for you.

What if the monster you’ve been running from… is the doorway to who you’re meant to become?

In this episode of Monday Mornings with Peace, we explore what bravery really means. Not the absence of fear — but the decision to move forward despite it.

This episode dives deep into:

• The true meaning of courage

• The Hero’s Journey and stepping into the unknown

• Breaking generational curses and inherited patterns

• Facing fear instead of passing it down

• Healing the inner child

• Ending cycles that haunt your bloodline

• Standing up straight — even when you’re trembling

Every family carries patterns.

Anger.

Avoidance.

Addiction.

Silence.

Control.

You may not have created the mess… but you have the responsibility to clean it up.

Bravery is standing in front of the monster within — the generational cycle, the inherited fear, the identity built around survival — and choosing to become the interruption.

This episode is about aiming your life at something meaningful.

Not for applause.

But so that one day you can look back… and give a quiet nod.

It stops with you.
